RIP Hunter S. Thompson
Author of Hells Angels and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas shot himself yesterday. If you havn't read him, do yourself a favor and pick up either of the titles above, his undisputed masterpieces. Skip the movie. It doesn't compare to the book.

Hey Man,
There's nothing like racin in the rain. Sounds like it was an awesome weekend. Go Big John! It's cool to see the New Mexico guys showing up. I gotta try to make it out in March.
Hackett, I dig the ad.
What do you call a tiny Puerto Rican? A Spec.
How do you get a nun pregnant? Dress her as an alter boy.
What do you call a black guy after he gets lip reduction surgery? Big lips.
Why can’t Stevie Wonder read? Because he’s black.
Why do chicks fake orgasms? Who cares?
Two explorers are captured by African Cannibals. They are tied up in the giant pot of water, heating up over a fire when one of the explorers starts laughing uncontrollably. The other guy says, “what’s so funny”? “I just pissed in the soup”.
What do you do if an elephant comes through your window? Swim.
A guy is hunting in the forest when he comes across a naked woman sitting on a tree stump. He asked her “are you game”? She answered “yes”, so he shot her.

Still, feels good to be tooled up. Reckon as I'll leave the podium to the writhing-ankled belly-dancing uber-babes and multi-skilled wonderboys.

It was a long day...
I want to start out here by giving HUGE props to Tiger Williams who ran Lynn Kramers' awesome timing system ALL DAY LONG and figured out the placings at the end of the race in record time! Thanks Tiger!!
Also HUGE PROPS to "The GodFather of Contemporary Slalom" - Mark McCree for keeping everyone in line and ready to go at the start- Thanks man, you RULE!!
Here's how it went down; We set the course at 10 am.
I took a practice run; then it rained...
McCree and Hollien headed back to the hotel; can you blame them?
Being the responsible race promoter and organizer, I smoked a cigar
in the front of the van with legendary downhill speedboarder Jimmy Flindt.
While we both pondered the rains' longevity. About 40 minutes later the rain stopped but the road remained WET. So, we decided to move some of the cones in on the dry pavement so we could start this bad boy. Right about when we were done; it rained AGAIN!
Enter John O'Shei. Maniac? DumbAss? Hardcore? Heuvos GRANDE? Maybe a mix of all 4...He took one look at that course and pushed in hard all out from the top in the rain on a wet course and bombed the whole hill CLEAN. S-I-C-K.
We were all in disbelief. This feat definitely raised the "NUTSACK FACTOR" about 10 notches. We HAD to run the course just to get a time. You never know...
Then the rain stopped; and the course was dry in about an hour. During this time we ran and ran and ran those cones and that course balls out in a tuck from top to bottom. I was stoked on clocking a 33.5 on my first timed run. By the time 2 o'clock rolled around the number one spot had been passed from Chicken to Maysey, to Kosick, to Brunson and O'Shei and back 3- 4 times over in the 29, 28, 27, and sub 27 when O'Shei hit a 26.32 and it looked like that was going to be it. We all had another run through the roster but O'Shei was unbeatable at that point in the game.
All in all, an amazing day of high speed racing at it's finest.
Huge thanks to all the Speed boarder guys who showed up to give the race an extra element of GNAR: Jimmy Flindt, The Rogers Brothers, Will Brunson everyone else who made this event a huge success!!
Who ever missed this race - REALLY MISSED IT. The final results follow:
1st - O'Shei 26.32
2nd - Maysey 26.48
3rd - Kosick 26.62
4th - Chicken 26.94
5th - Brunson 27.64
6th - Budro 27.72
7th J.Rodgers 27.79
8th - Wilson 28.19
9th - Hackett 28.23
10th Johnston 28.27
11th Carpenter 28.36
12th Evans 28.59

A guy walks into a restaurant in his shirt sleeves. The maitre' d informs him the establishment requires a coat and tie.
The guy goes back to his car to put on his coat but can't find anything to go around his neck except some jumper cables. So he ties them on and goes back inside.
The honcho in charge takes one look and says, "well, ok, but don't go startin' anything!"

Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.
Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could not contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother, "Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane........"
At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."
At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny start ed his story, "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army."
Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt.

A girl walks up to the express lane at the grocery store and starts putting her items on the conveyor. A carton of milk, a box of cereal, a tin of coffee and a bag of cookies. The man ahead of her in line looks at her purchases, then at her, and exclaims in a slighly drunken slur, "Well, I guess you must be single". She repies, "Why yes, but how could you tell that? From looking at my groceries?" "No", he says, "Cause you're ugly!"

McCree, Hollien, Tiger and I just had dinner
and are kicking it smoking fat cigars...
For those racing tomorrow; get there early.
The race will start at 12 Noon sharp.
The course will be mostly Super GS; not many
sharp turns, just a nice fast line- Makeable
even in the rain or on a wet surface.
Full paddage is recommended especially a Helmet
and wrist guards with gloves.
Olson will be bringing his Porsche design military
issue custom goggles complete with wind shield wiper
blades.
I of course will be looking busy while praying to the rain gods
for a dry race window.
McCree will be starting each racer in order of the racers list.
This means NO WAITING IN LINE for your shot at a timed run.
Make sure you know who is in front of you and who goes after you
in the line up.
oLsOn will show up about 3AM from LA ready to Rock and Roll...
The course will be open from 12 Noon to 2 PM. Maybe 3 depending upon the
wheather, and or if everyone has had enough by 2 O'clock- We will take a group
conscience at 2...
There will be a one cone penalty. Hit one cone, your good. No time added. Hit two cones- Start footbraking, your run is a DQ.
Tiger was injured attempting a Mute 720 snowboarding in Mammoth last week, so he will be our official timer.
Who will show? Who will win? Who will place? Who will slam? Who will lead the point standings after the 2nd BLR, LCB, RADIKAL, PPS KHIRO OUTLAW?
Only time will tell...

"1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we."
Christopher Columbus:
• Didn't know where he was going.
• Didn't know where he was when he got there.
• Proclaimed to be the first to arrive even though he was surrounded by natives.
Did it all on borrowed government money.

Guys Rules

On 2/19/2005 Chris B

United States
(68.60.nnn.nnn)
Guys' Rules
We've heard the womens rules a thousand times
Now here are the rules from the male side.
Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers
to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.
See a doctor.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don 't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.
Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are
prepared to discuss such topics as
skating, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape.
Round is a shape.
1. Gotta sleep on the couch tonight?
no problem ...... men really don't mind that
It's like camping.

Two alligators were sitting at the side of the swamp near the Potomac
River. The smaller one turned to the larger one and commented, "I don't
understand why you are so much bigger than me. We're the same age and we
were the same size as kids. I just don't get it." "Well," said the big
gator, "what have you been eating?" "Politicians, same as you," replied
the small gator. "Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?" "Down on the other
side of the swamp, near the parking lot." "Same here. Hmm. How do you
catch them?" "I crawl up under one of their cars and wait for one to come
along and unlock their car. Then I jump out, grab 'em by the leg, shake
the crap out of 'em, and eat 'em. Why?" "Ah-ha!" says the big alligator,
"I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment, kid.
By the time you get done shaking the crap out of a politician, there's
nothing left but an ass#@! and a briefcase!!!"
